MANCHESTER UNITED legend Roy Keane was a "great" manager but some stars couldn't "handle" him, one former player has claimed.<\/p>\n

Keane has not held a coaching role for over four years since his brief stint with Nottingham Forest where he worked as an assistant in 2019.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The former midfielder managed Sunderland as well as Ipswich and then worked as a coach for the Republic of Ireland, Aston Villa and of course Forest.<\/p>\n

Kieran Richardson played with the ex-Ireland international for three years at United and then worked under him at the Stadium of Light during the 2007-2008 season.<\/p>\n

And Richardson insists the controversial star did a brilliant job at the Black Cats.<\/p>\n

The ex-England international remembers Keane as the same man everyone sees on Sky Sports every week talking about "standards".<\/p>\n

The former full-back admits the 52-year-old rubbed a few people the wrong way but he always looked to get the best out of his players, just like he did with his team-mates at United as captain.<\/p>\n

Richardson exclusively told Ladbrokes Fanzone: "Playing for Roy, having played with him at Man United, it wasn't weird for me. <\/p>\n

"He just felt like my captain again, really. As you see every week on TV with Roy, he just talks about standards. <\/p>\n

"With Roy, he was a great captain and, for me, he was a great manager. <\/p>\n

"Some players just can't handle the way he is. But he doesn't ask you for much, he just wants you to get the basics right. <\/p>\n

"Run more than anyone else, and graft, and the rest takes care of itself. That's all he ever asked of us as players.<\/p>\n

"I loved playing for Roy, and I loved him as a captain. You will not get any better than him as a captain, any player, at any club in the world. <\/p>\n

"No one comes close to Roy. He required the highest levels from his team-mates. He wanted the best of the best, from the best. And that was what he got out of his team-mates at Man United.<\/p>\n

"He was very similar as a captain and as a manager. I loved it, because I'm one of those players who likes to be told. Some players don't like it, some go the other way."<\/p>\n
